  4. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch, cinnamon, spices and the remaining sugar.
  5. Slice apples and toss in bowl with spice mix until well-coated.

Homemade, Gluten-Free Pasta (no machine needed!)

July 3, 2023

Are you missing perfect, slightly chewy pasta on the gluten-free diet? Then read on for a simple recipe for delicious, gluten-free pasta! You’ll be making fancy, authentic noodles in no time.

If you have a pasta machine, use it to make a more consistent noodle shape. Otherwise, don’t worry! Your pasta will be equally tasty if you hand cut it.

This recipe is provided courtesy of our friends at the Gluten-Free Palate.

Two nests of raw pasta. In the corner is the Gluten-Free Palate logo.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum (only if your flour doesn’t contain it)
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour with the xanthan gum, if using.
  2. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the eggs. Mix well using a fork until all the ingredients are combined and you have a slightly sticky pasta dough. If the dough feels too dry you can add one more egg or a couple tablespoons of water until you reach the desired consistency. If the dough is too wet, add a little bit more gluten-free flour.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes until you get a smooth ball of dough. There’s no gluten to be formed so you don’t need to knead the dough for too long, but the kneading ensures that you break apart lumps of flour, if any exist.
  4. Cut the dough into quarters and roll it out one at a time with a rolling pin. Roll it out into a loose rectangular shape.
  5. Fold the long ends together (so it’s easier to cut, unless you’re using a very long knife. You could even fold it in thirds). Then slice the dough with a knife according to how thick you want your pasta to be. Unroll or unfold your dough, then toss the pasta strands in some flour and shape them into nests (pictured). You can let the pasta dry, or you can cook it right away in salted, boiling water for 4-8 minutes.
  6. Top your noodles with your favorite gluten-free sauce and serve!

Roti (Indian flatbread)

April 5, 2023

A plate of roti with a garnish of coriander.

Roti is undoubtedly a staple of Indian cuisine, and it’s popular across all of South East Asia as well. They’re fairly easy to make, but traditionally contain wheat—we’re here to help! Try this gluten-free recipe with your next curry.

This recipe is provided courtesy of the Gluten-Free Palate.

Ingredients

Yields 6 servings

  • ½ cup chickpea flour (also called besan or gram flour)
  • ¼ cup cassava flour
  • 1 cup gluten-free 1-to-1 flour
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 ½ cups hot water

Instructions

  1. Place all of the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl: chickpea flour, cassava flour, gluten-free plain flour, xanthan gum, fine sea salt, and baking powder. Mix well using a whisk or wooden spoon.
  2. Add olive oil. Pour hot water a little at a time. Mix well using a wooden spoon until you can form it into a dough ball. The dough should be soft and firm but not too sticky—you probably won’t need to use all the water.
  3. Slice the dough into 6 pieces and then roll each piece into a small ball. Place them in the bowl and cover with a damp cloth.
  4. On a flat, floured surface, lay one of the dough balls and start to roll it until really thin. Make it as round as you can.
  5. Once you have rolled and shaped all the dough, heat a cast iron grill pan until hot.
  6. Place a roti circle onto the hot pan and leave to cook until you just start to see bumps appearing on the surface. Now flip the flatbread using a silicone spatula.
  7. Using a clean kitchen towel, press down very lightly for a few seconds to help the inside cook quickly, and then allow the bread to cook. After a few times, the roti starts to puff up. At that point, remove from heat and let the bubble deflate naturally.
  8. Enjoy roti with curry while hot!

Pride Krispies

June 1, 2022

Have you been wondering what to take to the June Pride celebration potluck? We’ve got you covered! These Pride Krispy treats are gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan and delicious.
A plate of pride krispies

Ingredients:

  • 4 ½ cups Fruity Pebbles cereal (always gluten-free and clearly labeled)
  • 10 oz bag full-sized Dandies vegan marshmallows
  • ¼ cup coconut oil

Directions:

  1. Grease an 8×8 or 7×11 baking pan with coconut oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Cut the marshmallows into quarters with scissors.
  3. Combine the marshmallows in a pan with the coconut oil and heat on the stove on medium heat, stirring continuously. I found it easier to use a large pan to give the marshmallows more heated surface area and also to have enough room for the cereal when you add it. Note that the marshmallows will not melt to a liquid state, but will instead get soft, sticky and pliable.
  4. Once the marshmallows are soft, add the cereal a cup at a time. Expose a sticky surface of marshmallow, stick the cereal onto it, fold the cereal in and repeat. You may want to use your hands for the mixing process once most of the cereal is in the pan, but warning! It will be hot! If you have heat resistant silicone cooking gloves, this would be a great time to use them!
  5. Once the cereal is mixed in, transfer the mixture to your baking pan and push it into place, all the way to the edges.
  6. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight and then cut into squares.

    Snow Queen Snow Balls

    June 1, 2021

    Snow ball on a plate with raspberries and red flowers surrounding it.

    Recipe courtesy of Chef Oonagh Williams of Royal Temptations Catering, from her Delicious Gluten Free Cooking ebook.

    With life hopefully opening up, I made one of our favorite desserts again, but as individual portions that you can pull out of freezer—”snow balls” instead of a Snow Queen. It’s always been very popular at parties. So very easy, quick to make and freeze, and naturally gluten-free. It’s basically whipped cream and crushed meringues frozen. However, for many of us desserts to feed a bundle of people is more than we want tempting us in the house, so smaller is better! Individual portions are becoming more popular as a way to control portion sizes, plus it looks prettier on a plate. Kids love a dessert made just for them. This is truly a dessert made in heaven with the slight crunch from the meringues, the mild almond liqueur flavor and the punch of flavor from the raspberries. Made in minutes, frozen within an hour or two so great for unexpected guests, and compatible with lots of different liqueurs and sauces. Don’t prepare it more than 1 week in advance as the meringues will lose their texture. Even if snow balls soften a little, they still taste wonderful and are like an Eton Mess, a recipe of whipped cream, meringues and strawberries.

    Ingredients

    • ¾ cup (180 ml) whipping or heavy cream
    • 1–2 tbsp (15–30 ml) amaretto, or any almond-flavored liqueur you like. For a stronger almond flavor add 1 tsp almond extract to the liqueur.
    • 1 tbsp (15 ml) sugar
    • 3 oz store-bought meringues, or make meringues with 3 egg whites.
    • Raspberries or strawberries.

    Instructions

    1. Whisk cream, sugar and liqueur until stiff.
    2. Break meringues with your fingers into small pieces, but not crushed fine, and fold the pieces into the cream mixture. Taste and add more sugar if you prefer. Note: any frozen dessert tends to need more sugar than a room-temperature dessert.
    3. I used a number 12 scoop, roughly 1/3 cup, and made 6 balls from the mixture. Put them on a plate lined with plastic wrap or in paper cupcake liners and keep in the freezer for at least an hour or two. Note: they won’t freeze solid, and the snow balls will melt rapidly in the heat.
    4. Remove from freezer and peel the plastic wrap off the snow balls, or serve in cupcake liners.
    5. Decorate with raspberries, raspberry sauce, chocolate sauce, fresh strawberries or other fresh fruit.

    Alternatives

    • Try hazelnut liqueur to marry with the raspberries.
    • Try a coffee or chocolate liqueur and serve this with my chocolate mousse recipe before whipping the mousse.
    • Try orange juice concentrate, grated orange rind and orange liqueur.
    • Liquor stores sell ¼ cup “nips” of liqueurs for a few dollars, so mix and match different liqueurs to see what you like best or to offer options for guests.
    • If you are dairy free, try whipping the solid coconut milk cream from the top of a can of chilled full-fat coconut milk (not the “lite” Asian-style coconut milk).
